How do I convert rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates?

Compute r = √(x² + y²) and θ = atan2(y, x). The function atan2 considers the signs of x and y to return the correct angle for all quadrants.

How to change polar coordinates into rectangular coordinates?

Use x = r·cos(θ) and y = r·sin(θ). If your θ is in degrees, convert it to radians before calling trig functions, or switch the calculator’s angle mode.

What is the R θ in polar coordinates?

r is the distance from the origin (non-negative). θ is the angle from the positive x-axis, measured counterclockwise. We display θ normalized for consistency.

What is the formula for converting to Polar Form?

From rectangular (x, y) → polar (r, θ): r = √(x² + y²), θ = atan2(y, x).
